just the 2, would that not make the back end a bit skitish. have they reduced them 40 quid a tyre?

Wouldnt imagine it being as skitish, just more likely for the arse end to swing out, but I enjoy going sideways anyhow.

from some of his comments on night time activity i think its off the line grip hes after :whistle:.

;)

:lol: enjoys taking part in the traffic light grand prix does he?
Those tyres wont last long doing that!

My tires usually only last 4500 miles. Wonder what the toyos will wear like. Hope I can make them last till after the summer, and then will buy some more cold/wet performance tires.

They handle beautifully on the wet, mine do anyway (different dimensions and car).

Edit: the above was for Pov, regarding the R1Rs.

Rob, funny you should ask, a close friend has them on a Miata NBFL and we were discussing it today. For the past 4 years he's been using semislick tyres on the road exclusively, and he also has a great deal of track experience. He said that after a long time, he finally found the perfect tyre on the Kumho's (hard compound). :)

I'll have more info in about an hour.
